We are accustomed to speak with I ccr-
lain light irony of the tendency which
women have to gossip; as if the sin itself,if
it is a sin, were of the gentler sex,‘a'nd could
by no chance he Imssculine peccadillo. -'So
far as my observation'goes, men are as much '
given to small talk~ a's'women, and it is un-
deniable that we have produced the highest

find, in or out or‘ literature, such another

If it came to I matter cf pure gossip,I
would back Our Club against the Sorosis or

see in our drawing-room four or five young
fellows, lounging in easy-chairs, cigar in

heads together over the small round J span-

social circles, you may be sure they are
discussing Tom’s engagement, or Dick’s ex-

This fi-ightibl idea fascinated while it
chilled him,and helped to make it nearly
impossible for him to keep away from the
theatre. In the beginning his attendance
had not interfered with his social duties or

tasteful after dinner to do anything but

on one occasion.
Now, I find it very perplexing to explain
what Van Twiller was wholly unable to ex-
plain to himself He was not in love with
Mademoiselle Olynrpe. He had no wish to
speak to her, or to hear her speak. Noth-
ing could have been easier, and nothing
farther from his desire, than to know her
personally. A Van Twiller personall

The list 'of possible Mrs. Van Twillers was

same still small voice of rumor, but now
with an easily detected staccato sharpness

with an actress! Van Twiller, whom it had
taken all these years and all this waste of
' raw material in the way of ancestors to
bring to perfection, —Ralph Van Twiller,
the net result and flower of his race, the
descendant of' Wouter, the son of Mrs. Vau-
lenssclaer Vanzandt Van Twiller,—in love
with an actress i That wII too'ridiculous to
be believed,—-nnd so everybody believed it.
Six or seven members of the club abrupt-
ly discovered in themselves an unsuspected
latent passion for the histrionic srt. In
squads of two oi- three they stormed succes-
IiVely all the theatres in town,—Booth’s,
Wallnck’s, Daly’s Fifth ”Avenue (not burnt
down then), and the Grand Opera House.
Even the shabby homes of the drama over
in the Sewery,lwhere the Germanic Thes-
pius has not. taken out his naturalisation
papers, underwent rigid exploration. But
no clew was found to Van Twiller’a mys=
terious attachment. The opera bwfe which
promised the wildest field for investigation,
produced absolutely nothing, not even a crop
of suspicious. One night, after several
weeks of this, Delaney and I fancied we
caught a glimpse of Van Twiller' 1n the pri-
vgte box of an up-t'own theatre, where some
trilling trapeze performance was going on,
whlch we did not care to sit through; but
We concluded afterwards it was only some-
body that looked like him. Delaney, by
the way, was unusually active in this search.
I dare say he never quite forgave Van
Twiller for calling him Muslin Delaney.

fact.

rounded Vaa Twiller’s inamorata lett us tree

Walking home (tom the theatre that first
night,’ it fiitted through Van Twiller’ I mind
that if he could give this girl’s set of nerves
and muscles to any one 'of the two hundred
high-bred women he knew, he would marry
her on the spot and 10fsh-ip her forever. ;
The following evening he went to see
Mademoiselle Olympe ageing “Olmype
ZIbriski'.” he thought, '_Is he sauntered
through the lobby, “v'vh'st a equeer name!
Olympe is French, and Zabriski is Polish.
It is her nontdagus‘rire, of course; her real
name is probably; Sarah 'Iones. What kind
of creature. can. she' be in private lile,I
wonder? I wonder ifshe wars that cos-
tume all the time, and ifsbe springs to her
meals fr0m a horizontal bIr. Of course
she rocks the baby to sleep on the tram. ”
And' 'Van Twiller went on' milking comical
domestic tableaux of Mademoiselle Zabriski,
like the clever, satirical dog ,he was, until
the curtain rose.
This was on Friday. There was . a
matinee the next day, and befittended .-.that,
though he had secured a seat :for the usual
evening entertainment. 'Then it bect'tme a
habit of Van Twillcr’ s to drop into the

ly. It was a surprise 'to himself‘when‘he
reflected, ' one; morning, that he had not
missed a single performance of 'Made-
moiselle Olympe for two weeks.
“This will never do," said Van Twiller.
“Olympe”—he called her Olympe, as if she
were an old acquaintance, and so she might
have been considered by that time—“is I
w0nderlul creature , but this will never do.

In this second edition of Vun Twillerls'
fatuity, his' case was em worse than before.
He not only thought of Olympe quite a

to occupy his leisurclronrs -'It night '- by

like Va'n Twiller. He would imagine him-
self. seated at the theatre (with all the mem-
bers of Our Club' in the parquctte), watch-
'ing Mademoiselle Olympe as usual, when
suddenly that young lady would launch
herself desperately from the trapeze, and
come flying through the air like I firebrand
hurled at his private box Then the un-
fortunate man would wake up with cold
drops standing ou' his forehead.
There' 10 one redeeming feature in this
infatuation of Van Twiller’s which the
sober moralist will love to look upon,,—the
serene unconsciousness of the person who
caused it. She went through- her role with
admirable Iplomb, drew her salary, it may
be assumed, punctually, and appears from
first to last to have been ignorant that there
was a miserable slave wearing her chains
nightly in the left-hand proscenium-box.
That Van Twiller, haunting the theatre
with the persistency of In Sex-actor, con-
ducted himselfso discreetly as not to draw
the fire of Mademoiselle .Olympe’ Iblue eyes,
shows that Van Twiller, however deeply
undera spell, was not in line. 'I say this,

qualifying anything. As a confession, it'
was unique, Ind might have been I great
deal less entertaining. Two or three times,
in the course of the nIrr'stive, the matron
had some difficulty in preserving the gravi-
ty of her countenance. After meditating a
few Initiates, one tapped Van Twiller softly
on the arm with“ the tip of her parasol, and
invited him to return with her the next day
up the Hudson and make I brief visit at the
home of his ancestors, He accepted the in
vitItion with outward alscrit'y and inward
reluctance.
When this was settled. and the worthy
lady had withdrawn. Van Twiller went
directly to the establishment of Messrs. Ball,
Bladk,’ and Company, and selected, with
u'nerr-iug taste, the finest diamond bracelet
procurable. For his mother? Dear me,
'no! Sh'e bird the family jewels.
I would not like to state the enormous
sum Van Twiller paid for this bracelet. It
'was such I clasp of diamonds as would
have hastened the pulsation 'of I patricsn
wrist. It was such a bracelet as Prince
Camarulssman might have sent to the
'Princess'BIdOurs, and tkc Princess Bedoure '
—might have been very glad to get.
In the flagrant Levaut- morocco case,
where these happy jewels lived when they
were at home, Van Twiller thoughtflilly

Not long ego, two friends were sitting t0
ge'ther iugaged° 1n letter.writing. One was
9 young man from India, the other I fernsle
l’rrltud,part of whose fImily resides in that
tkr-ofl' land. The former was writing to
his mother in India. When the letter was
ilms'h'ed,his fl'iend altered to enclose it in
hers, to' save postage. This he politely de-
cli'ned saying, "If it be sent Ieperately, it
will reach her sooner than if sent' through
I friend; and perhaps it. may save here I
tear.’ His il'iend was- -touched with his
tender regard for his mother’ I feelings, and.
felt, with him, that it was worth paying the
portage to save his mother I tear.
Would that every boy and girl, every
young man and every young woman, were
equIlly saving of_a mother’ a tear.
Think about yourselféw'h'at' you want,
what-you like, what" respect people ought
to pay to you, what people think of you;
and then nothing to you will be pure. You
will be Is wretched on earth so you choose,
or in heaven either.- In heaven either I say,
for that proud, greedy, self-seeking spirit
would turn heaven into hell. It did turn
heaven into hell for the great adversary
himself. It was by pride, by seeking his
own glory, that he fell mm heaven to hell.
He' was not content to give up his own
will- and do OOd’I will, like the other
ang'els. He Would- be I master himself, and
set tip for himself, Ind rejoiced in his own
glory,and I0 when be emitted to make I

made a hell And why ? Because his heart
was not pure, clean, honest, simple, unsel-
